From Jan, MI

I recently did a test photo shoot. The photographer loved the shots and wants to sell them as stock photos. Do I have to give him permission to use these photos?

Dear Jan:

It is my understanding that you do not have to allow your image to be used in stock photos if you only agreed to shoot test shots. You were under the assumption that the photos would be used for promotional purposes only. You simply can refuse to sign the release form giving the photographer permission for any stock usage.

If you get a chance, you might want to read the section in my book about stock photos. You have to be very careful when shooting stock.
